However, Zhu Youdong came down from Yungui, surrendered troops and the army under the control of Yungui's generals, and there were ninth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth armies. This is a whole six armies, and it is precisely because of this confidence that Wang Xing and others have the courage to want to fight together. Now that Zhu Youdong has easily recovered three armies, plus the Sixth Army recovered from Yuan Zongdi in Kuidong, the generals of the Baoning Department now have nine armies.

This secretly manipulated party struggle not only did not cause a split in the Restoration Army, but also allowed Zhu Youdong to easily resolve it. Zhu Youdong also took the opportunity to get rid of a few restless people and strengthened Zhu Youdong's rights. Zhu Youdong is very satisfied with such a result.

After Tan Shuanghua sent his two elder brothers back to Wanxian, he returned to Chongqing. Li Xiao had also returned from Wang Guangxing, and when the three of them met, Zhu Youdong said: "Don't run into the army in the future." ”

Li Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong, she went to the army before because of Duan Feihong's influence. But since Duan Feihong no longer led the army, Li Xiao has not been in the army anymore. This time, it was also because of Tan Shuanghua's incident that he was provoked to follow Wang Guangxing to run the barracks for half a year.

Now that I heard Zhu Youdong say that I didn't need to go to the barracks, I immediately agreed. But Tan Shuanghua is different, she has always wanted to lead the army to the expedition. Hearing Zhu Youdong say that he didn't need to go to the barracks, he suddenly said: "No, I've always wanted to fight on the battlefield." ”

Zhu Youdong frowned and said, "What battlefield is you fighting?" I haven't settled accounts with you about the last time you sent a false military order. I think about fighting on the battlefield all day long, and the men in this world have not died yet, when will women be allowed to go to the battlefield? ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "Why not, haven't you always admired the loyal marquis?" Isn't she a woman? Besides, if you don't let me go, I won't go? The legs are on me, and I can go wherever I want. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Really? You can try, as long as you go out of this door today, the soldiers in the army, you don't want to move. ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "You don't have to use these to scare me, even if you don't give me soldiers, I can still find the army." Zhu Youdong also felt that Tan Shuanghua was very assertive and lively. can meet such a person, for Zhu Youdong, but it has never been.

At that time, he felt that Tan Shuanghua was more suitable for him, compared to Li Xiao, who was almost forced to accept, Tan Shuanghua was the person he wanted. But now it seems that Tan Shuanghua doesn't care about his thoughts at all, let alone consider the changes in the current situation, which is much worse than Li Xiao.

As soon as he said a few words to him, seeing that he was about to quarrel, Zhu Youdong suddenly felt a little irritable. said: "Okay, as soon as you leave, I will send an official document to tell the whole army of the Restoration Army." Anyone who finds you will be put to death. Also, the thousand households you commanded will now be under the command of Peng Changbao. ”

When Tan Shuanghua heard that the 1,000 people in his hands were also going to be taken away, he immediately said to Zhu Youdong: "You crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and you saw that I was useful at that time, so everything was right." Now that you are powerful, you want to take everything away. ”

Originally, Zhu Youdong wanted to explain, but now the situation has changed. If Tan Shuanghua really wants to marry Zhu Youdong, her identity is no longer suitable for going to the barracks at the moment. But Tan Shuanghua didn't give a chance at all, and directly blamed Zhu Youdong.

Zhu Youdong didn't want to quarrel at all, Zhu Youdong was very tired about the party dispute two days ago, but he was finally calmed down by himself. Just dealt with the matter over there, there is still the spirit to quarrel again for Tan Shuanghua's little thing.

Tan Shuanghua saw that Zhu Youdong was silent, and continued: "You can take it away if you want to, how can there be such a good thing." Let me tell you, I brought the white pole soldiers to Guizhou at the beginning. If you want to take away the thousand men I now command, then you will return to me the white pole soldiers. ”

Facing Tan Shuanghua's chatter, Zhu Youdong suddenly felt a headache. Now Tan Shuanghua still wants to leave the white pole soldiers, and suddenly feels a wave of anger in his heart rushing to the top of his head, and glaring at Tan Shuanghua with an angry face.

Tan Shuanghua didn't expect Zhu Youdong to suddenly get angry, and he didn't dare to speak out in fright. Li Xiao on the side saw it, and hurriedly pulled Tan Shuanghua back, and said to Zhu Youdong: "Don't be angry, go and rest first, and I'll talk to Sister Tan later." ”

Zhu Youdong glanced at Li Xiao and Tan Shuanghua, then rubbed his temples and said, "Can you do it?" Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Tan just didn't figure it out for a while, and her head hasn't turned around yet, and when she figures it out, it'll be fine." ”

Looking at Tan Shuanghua, who was still unconvinced, Zhu Youdong couldn't do anything for a while. I had to say: "Okay, you can talk to him, now it's not as good as before, and some things are out of your own control." ”

After saying that, Zhu Youdong got up and went back to the backyard, and saw Zhu Youdong leaving. Tan Shuanghua muttered: "What, you know how to scare people, you can't say it, and you don't want people to say it." ”

Li Xiao saw that Tan Shuanghua still couldn't let go, so he said, "Sister Shuanghua, do you really want to lead the army to fight?" Tan Shuanghua said: "Of course, when I was at home, I was always controlled by my father, and my grandmother always talked about me." What if I didn't want to lead the troops to fight and run out alone? You're really here for fun. ”

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "But in this world, there are a few women who lead the army to fight." Tan Shuanghua was just about to name the leading women. Li Xiao interrupted: "I know what you want to say, but if they are not forced to do so, who would want to show their heads like this and mix with a bunch of men all day long." ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "But don't say no, don't you say that there are also female generals in Kuidong?" Li smiled: "You're talking about Aunt Duan Feihong, she is also forced to eat, there are hundreds of people behind her to eat, if she didn't bring troops at that time, what would everyone eat?" What's more, the Qing soldiers are pressed so tightly, if they don't resist, they won't be killed by the Qing army."

Tan Shuanghua said: "But this also shows that women can lead soldiers." Li Xiao smiled and said: "Of course you can lead troops, but some people can't lead troops, like you can't lead troops now." ”

"I can't lead troops? Why? Tan Shuanghua suddenly couldn't sit still, stood up and asked Li Xiao. Li Xiao motioned for Tan Shuanghua to sit down first, and did not answer, but thought to Tan Shuanghua and asked, "Do you agree with what I told you last time?" ”

Tan Shuanghua suddenly remembered that the last conversation at Shengjing Pass in Guizhou had two red clouds floating on his face. Then he whispered: "Of course I do, but you can also see that he is like this now, and he looks like he wants to marry me." ”

Li smiled: "You, he just intended to marry you, so he opposed you leading the army." Tan Shuanghua raised his head and looked at Li Xiao. Puzzled, he asked, "Why?" Why should he marry me, so I can't lead the army? ”

After Tan Shuanghua finished speaking, he found that his voice was loud, and he was immediately embarrassed. Hurriedly turned his head to look around, only to find that there was no one around at all. Only a few guards stood in the distance, and they probably didn't hear it, so they were relieved.

Li smiled: "Think about it, what is he going to do soon?" Tan Shuanghua said: "Prison country, isn't this all spread all over the world, don't talk about Chongqing, it's the whole of Sichuan who doesn't know." Li smiled: "Yes, after he was in charge of the country, his identity is different, do you think you can still lead the army?" ”

Tan Shuanghua said disappreliantly: "He is in charge of his country, and I lead my army, this is not a conflict, are you still afraid that I will rob him of his position in prison." ”

Li Xiao followed Li Guo before, that is, Li Zicheng's nephew and Li Laiheng's adoptive father. When he was fighting the Qing Dynasty in Guangxi, he had been following the Yongli Imperial Court. Regarding the etiquette of the imperial court, some imperial court systems, at that time, Li Guo and others talked about the most. Because they were born as refugees, they have always been squeezed out by the ministers in the court, so Li Guo and others are particularly concerned.

Every time I return to the camp, the most I talk about is the rules and regulations of the imperial court and what etiquette there is. So Li Xiao also rendered it with his ears and eyes and understood it. But the Tan family, where Tan Shuanghua is located, is a small family in the local area, and may still know something about personal etiquette.

The etiquette of this court system is also ignorant. Now that Li Xiao asked, he answered two sentences as a matter of course. But Zhu Youdong didn't know about this situation, and instinctively thought that in this imperial society, everyone should know about these things, so he didn't explain it.

Li Xiao on the side saw that Tan Shuanghua really didn't understand, so he said: "How can this be counted separately, he married you, your identity is different, what can be done and what can't be done, you must pay special attention." ”

Tan Shuanghua's head grew when he heard this, and he said, "There are still these regulations." Li smiled: "Of course there is, he has become His Royal Highness the Prison State, and when the time comes, you will also become a concubine." Maybe when, when he ascends the throne and becomes the Son of Heaven, you are also the imperial concubine or the imperial concubine. ”

When Tan Shuanghua heard this, he immediately became happy, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, what else is the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine, I haven't thought about it." Li smiled: "What is there to think about?" That's it, what else do you want? ”

Tan Shuanghua lay in front of Li Xiao and said, "Really? Can I become an imperial concubine, the one who lives in the palace? Li Xiao saw Tan Shuanghua's appearance, and he also laughed, and said, "Of course, it is the imperial concubine who lives in the palace." ”

When Tan Shuanghua heard that it was really the imperial concubine who lived in the palace, he immediately laughed in his heart. Li Xiao looked at Tan Shuanghua's heartless appearance, and immediately laughed too.

Suddenly, Tan Shuanghua stopped laughing, then looked at Li Xiao seriously, and asked, "Sister Xiao, you are his engaged wife, isn't that the queen?" Tan Shuanghua's question was sudden, Li Xiao didn't react, and was stunned for a moment: "Maybe!" ”

Tan Shuanghua suddenly said urgently: "How can it be?" You're his betrothed wife. Li Xiao said with some concern: "When he was engaged, he was forced by the pressure of Kuidong's generals to agree, and I think he was a little reluctant." ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "He dares, if he doesn't agree, why should he agree in the first place." It's not okay to regret it now, Sister Xiao, don't worry, when the time comes, I will definitely help you. Li Xiao saw Tan Shuanghua talking angrily, and suddenly said: "Hey, what am I telling you to do here, let's talk about your affairs." ”

Tan Shuanghua waved his hand and said, "I have something to say, but I just want to lead the troops to fight." Li smiled: "That's the thing, do you know, you can't lead troops to fight." ”

Tan Shuanghua suddenly disagreed: "Sister Xiao, I was talking to you just now, why don't you help me now." Li smiled: "It's not that I won't help you, I told you just now, as long as he is in charge of the country, your identity is different, and you can't lead troops to fight." ”

Li Xiao saw that Tan Shuanghua still didn't understand, so he said: "Do you think about it, from ancient times to the present, Concubine Yu led troops to fight?" A few days ago, how many people he killed was because others made a fuss about your identity. If you still have to lead the troops, it is estimated that there will be more things to come out in the future. When the time comes, it will not be so easy to subside, and a bad one is that countless heads will fall to the ground. ”
